GENERAL HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS


Please read carefully and proceed in accordance with the following instructions before installation,
operation, maintenance or repair of the compressor unit.
The Health and Safety at Work Act, 1974
In order to comply with your responsibilities under the above act, it is
essential that the compressor is transported, positioned, installed,
operated and maintained by competent persons in accordance with
the instructions in this handbook.
The compressor warranty will be invalidated if unapproved spare parts
or lubricants are used. Using such items may cause the efficiency and
service life of the compressor to be reduced and could create a
hazardous condition over which CompAir UK Hydrovane has no
control.
Failure to maintain the compressor correctly, or modifying it without
prior approval from CompAir UK Hydrovane, may also create a
hazardous condition. This will also invalidate the warranty.
Consequential damage of any nature is not covered by the warranty.
Read and fully understand the contents contained in the user
handbook.
Ensure that the user Handbook is not permanently removed from the
compressor.
Check that there are no signs of damage and/or oil leaks from the
air-end, cooler and associated pipework.
After completing work, tools and foreign matter should be removed
from the compressor and its surrounding area.
In the unlikely event of a compressor fire, dry powder or carbon dioxide
fire extinguishers should be used. Never use water.

Before Working on Compressor


1. Potentially dangerous voltages are used to power this
machine. Do not carry out any work until the isolator is locked in
the off position. Fit a safety notice to the isolator advising that
work is being carried out and that the isolator must not be
switched on. If in doubt then a qualified electrician may remove
the fuses and keep them in a secure place until work is
complete.
2. Ensure the compressor has been safely isolated from the
main air system and cannot be re-introduced until all work has
been completed. Fit a safety notice to the isolation valve
advising that work is being carried out.
3. Do not undertake any work until the compressor and
receiver if fitted, have been relieved of all pressure.
4.

Wait until the compressors vent down cycle is complete.

5. Open the test valve to release any pressure contained in


the aftercooler or associated pipework.
6. Check that the air-end pressure gauge reads zero. Do not
proceed until it does.
7. Carefully unscrew the compressor filler plug. If any air or oil
escapes before plug is fully removed stop! Do not remove the
plug until all pressure is lost.
8. Safety devices fitted to the compressor or air-line system
should be checked at regular intervals and replaced if faulty.
They should not be tampered with or modified. Non return valves
should not be used as isolation devices.
9. To ensure the compressor operates safely you must carry
out the specified maintenance procedures.
10. Only approved lubricants should be used for flushing
purposes.
11. Extreme caution should be taken if the compressor has
been subjected to severe operating temperatures or fire. Certain
components may contain fluoroelastomer materials and under
these conditions can leave extremely corrosive residues.
Severe burns and permanent skin and tissue damage can be a
result of skin contact.
12. The Health and Safety information contained in this
Handbook is only intended to give general guidelines.

Introduction
GENERAL HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(continued)
When Operating the Compressor

7. Eye Contact - *Mildly irritating. Flush with copious amounts of


warm water. Seek medical advice if necessary.

1. When in automatic mode the compressor will re-start without


warning.

8. Aspiration - If there is any suspicion of aspiration into the


lungs (for example during vomiting) admit to hospital immediately.

2. If an automatic re-start device is fitted (allowing the


compressor to start when power is re-applied), or operation is
controlled from a remote location, additional warnings will be
required.

9. Inhalation - Remove from exposure into fresh air. If necessary


give artificial respiration or oxygen. Seek medical advice.

3. Do not remove any plugs or release pipework when the


compressor is running.
4. Do not attempt to open the starter enclosure while the
compressor is operating.
5. Beware of hot surfaces, both the air-end and electric motor are
designed to run at elevated temperatures.
6. Compressed air is potentially dangerous and can be fatal if
misused. Do not allow compressed air jets, discharged from any
pipe or nozzle, to make contact with your body.
7. Wear safety glasses and suitable clothing when using, or
working in an area where compressed air is being used.
8. Hazardous vapours/fumes can be produced if compressed air
is used to remove chemicals, cleaning agents and lubricants from
equipment and components. Suitable respiratory and extraction
equipment may be required in these circumstances. Never use
compressed air for cleaning personal clothing.
9. Do not use air directly from compressors for breathing
purposes. If the air is to be used for human consumption then it
must be subjected to further treatment to ensure that the levels of
contaminants, odour and moisture meet the requirements of
BS 4275 1974
10. We recommend that the air supply to hand held air guns is
regulated to a lower pressure (refer to local Health and Safety
regulations).
11. Do not insert any object or part of body through any opening of
the compressor enclosure. Serious personal injury and/or damage
may result.
12. Never run the compressor when any covers or guards are
missing, unless advised to do so in this handbook.

10. Pressure injection - Obtain immediate medical attention,


even if injury appears minor.
* See Cautionary Notice SHW 397 Effects of Mineral Oil on the
Skinand MS(B) 5 Skin Cancer Caused by Oilpublished by the
Health and Safety Executive.
11. Spillage - Soak up with absorbent clay.
12. Waste Disposal - Oil, condensate, filter elements etc. should
be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Do not allow oil
to contaminate water supplies.

Adjustments and Testing

A - Introduction
WARNING !
READ HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.

Adjustment procedures shown must only be carried out by


authorised persons fully trained and competent in the maintenance
of CompAir UK Hydrovane compressors.

B
A

If you are not able to carry out the work safely, contact your CompAir
UK Hydrovane distributor.

B - Pressure Switch (Fig. 5.1)


The pressure switch (C) is located in the air receiver and is pre-set at
the factory. The recommended cut-out pressure (high pressure
switch setting) is a maximum and must not be exceeded. The cut-in
pressure (re-start pressure switch setting) may be adjusted to suit
your application.
Factory setting 10 bar machines:Cut-out = 9.6-10.4 bar (max) Cut-in = 6.0 - 6.8 bar
Note: Do not adjust unless pressure switch is under pressure and
the compressor has been safely isolated from the mains electrical
supply.

Pressure sensing
Since the pressure switch is located into the air receiver we
recommend that you do not fit a non-return valve in your air-line
system.
If a non-return valve is essential for your application then the
air-supply to the switch must be relocated after the non-return valve.

C - Check Setting Procedures


Cut-out (stop) pressure:

Close air-outlet valve (A).

Start compressor, allow pressure to rise until compressor


cuts-out (stops).

Check and record cut-out pressure shown on pressure


gauge (B).

Cut-in (re-start) pressure:-

Carefully open air-outlet valve (A), allow pressure to fall slowly


until compressor cuts-in (re-starts).

Check and record cut-in pressure shown on pressure gauge (B).

Stop compressor.

D - Pressure Switch Adjustment (Fig. 5.2)

Close air-outlet valve (A).

Start compressor, allow pressure to rise until compressor


cuts-out (stops).

To adjust the cut-out higher (stop) pressure; turn the screw


marked (P1) towards:minus (-) to reduce cut-out pressure; compressor stops at
a lower pressure.

plus (+) to increase cut-out pressure; compressor stops at


a higher pressure.
Note: Cut-out, higher (stop) pressure must not be set above
10.4 bar.

To adjust the lower cut-in (start) pressure; turn screw marked


(P2) towards:minus (-) to reduce differential and restart the compressor
at a higher pressure.
plus (+) to increase differential and restart the
compressor at a lower pressure.

Re-fit pressure-switch cover.

Switch mains electrical supply on.

Start compressor and carry-out check settings procedure.

E - Minimum Pressure Valve

(Fig. 5.3)

Close outlet valve and start compressor.

Open outlet valve fully to atmosphere.

Check the gauge pressure reading.

When set correctly the gauge should show 5 bar. The valve will
operate satisfactorily between 4 bar and 6 bar.

F - Safety Valve Lift Pressure


(Where fitted)

Figure 5.3 - Minimum Pressure Valve and Safety


Valve Lift Pressure

(Fig. 5.3)

Safety valve preset to lift as follows:


10 bar compressor = 11 bar.

Should the safety valve be faulty it cannot be adjusted and must


be renewed as a complete unit.

G - Pressure Control Valve (Fig. 5.4)

Close outlet valve and start compressor (continuous run).

Gauge should read 10.5 bar max (10 bar PUTS).

Should gauge read differently DO NOT attempt to adjust the


valve. Renew as a complete unit.

Note the pressure setting written on valve when reordering.

H - Oil Temperature

Allow compressor to run for 30 minutes in order to attain its


normal working temperature.

Average running temperature should be


approximately 60C above ambient.
I - Air Output (Fig. 5.5)

Screw test nozzle into compressor outlet.

Close outlet valve and start compressor (continuous run).

Open outlet valve fully. Pressure on gauge should not fall below
9.5 bar (10 bar machine).

J - Leakage Check

Examine all external seals, gaskets and pipe connections for air
or oil leakage. No leaks are permissible.
